Day 23 – Uluru to Kings Canyon

January 23rd, 2010 Adelina & Roger

We didn’t know that Camel tours can be cancelled due to other bush camels. But let’s start from the beginning. The day started very early for us to see the sunrise at Uluru. From the various tours, we choose the Camel sunrise tour as they played an important role in desert life and in Australia’s  Read More »

In barca sul Mekong

January 23rd, 2010 nico&matt

Inizia la fantastica avventura sul Mekong. Dopo aver prelevato I KIP in banca, fatto un po’ di spesa per il viaggio (panini, frutta e birra fresca) partiamo! La barca e’ lunga, tutta in legno e colorata! I sedili non potevano che essere in legno, strettini e piccoli. Ci invitano a sederci su ognuno a coppie  Read More »

San Joaquin Valley, Huron. same day late afternoon.
I leave Jerry`s Diner in good spirits due mostly to the blond waitress`s well shaped bossom uppermost on my mind, let`s not forget the cute smile she gave me when I payed my bill. The down hill stuff is getting to an end when I finally enter the  Read More »

Day 28

January 23rd, 2010 Adelina & Roger

We reached Top End today. Top End refers to the region around Darwin. It is too the north most point of our travel and by reaching Darwin we have successfully crossed a country and a continent by car. That of course calls for celebration.
The climate changed from Mataranka a bit and became more humid. The  Read More »

January 23rd, 2010 Neil and Amanda

Gallipoli to Istanbul
We caught a local ferry across the peninsula to the town of Canekkale, and after a short, yet interesting visit to the ruins of Troy, we continued our journey along the Mamara Sea, passing through the massive city of Bursa, and on to Istanbul. How can I describe Istanbul? An intensely sprawled out  Read More »

Per prima cosa cerchiamo una Guesthouse migliore e ne troviamo una perfetta che si chiama “Other Side”!!!!
Dei graziosissimi bungalow/palafitta direttamente sul fiume, patio con amaca, e ben tre finestre enormi ognuna su un lato diverso della stanza che ci permetteva di avere dei panorami mozzafiato, uno che dava sulle altissime e verdi montagne, un altro  Read More »

The Road to Hana

January 22nd, 2010 new traveler neens

Ahh..road trips…there is nothing like them…especially on an Amador road trip. It is about 50 miles to Hana, which doesn’t seem very far, but on a two lane road with tourists you do the math. I forgot to mention the switchbacks there are a lot of them, I don’t advise the ride if you get  Read More »

Morro Bay, Morro Strand State Beach, Campground.
01-11-2002.
In the last rays of a setting sun I see peregrine falcons circling the rock giving it an eery sight.
Morro Bay`s Embarcadero despite its bling-bling facade, is bustling with activity. Fish and chips restaurants abound, displaying the day`s catch from the many fishing boats on tables outside reminding me  Read More »
